So I just downloaded the newest version of Firefox and my tabs are appearing next to my men Firefox button (the orange one). How do I move my tabs below the orange button and above the navigation bar. That is suppose to be the default setting but it doesn't seem to be working for me. When I minimize the browser it appears that way, but when it is enlarged to a normal screen the tabs move back up to the title bar/menu bar, whichever you call it. Any suggestions

Are you running Firefox in a maximized window?

If you do then set the browser.tabs.drawInTitlebar pref to false on the about:config page.

Yep that worked perfectly. I did have it in a maximized window and doing what you said moved the tab bar down below the Firefox (orange one). Thank you for your help and I love Firefox
